Warmth- It can get really cold in Rochester and I wear skirts every day. When I wear a coat that is long enough to cover my calves, it is a pain in the ass to organize it and my fairly large body and my bag on the bus so that I am not taking up two seat! So legwarmers seem to work!

Legwarmers! On cold days when I walk, I wear leggings over tights, which I then take off when I get to work. Toasty!

I have no boot advice. I really liked my last pair, I think they were Cougars (!).

Uggs look like glorified slippers to me. Like you were taking out the trash and then just left them on a whoops here you are at the bank in not-real shoes.

Mine are awesome and I love them and wear them constantly.

With your gauchos?

Why you shouldn’t order a custom cake from Wal-Mart

I couldn't figure out what the cake was supposed to say until I read it in the post.

Eeek, Matt -- that's like Muppetpocalypse!11!!!

Anyone want to crash a party?

Kareem “K.Pritty” Lyder Cordially invites you to attend The Privilege Party “Because You Deserve the Finest Things in Life” November 21, 2007 9:00PM-2:00AM Sanctuary 189 State Street The night features 3 floors of entertainment. There will be an exclusive pre-reception for Boston's "Privileged Ones" sponsored by Christiana VODKA followed by an art exhibit by Startistic, a roving fashion show sponsored by MOD Boston and Erin Daneele performing live alonside a jazz band. Then from 11:00PM until the end of the night is dedicated to having a good time. Music is provided by Che Boogie and DJ Eight2. *Semi-formal attire is required.

It seems one of Boston's "Privileged Ones" has a gmail address similar to mine because I got an invite.

Oh tommyrot, I am in tears from that link! That very thing has happened to me so many times when I am emailing our web master to update the website. I always end up with things like "insert hyperlink" or "bold this" in the text of our website!

Also, I like shearling, but I am afraid of the non-waterproofness of Uggs. My favorite boots ever were a pair of rust colored lace up shearling boots with a wedge heel that were from the 70's. They were fairly waterproof, they must have had some treatment. When I was moving my now ex-boyfriend threw them out. This was about 10 years ago, and I am still wishing I had them. The LLbean boots above are the closest I have seen to them

I swear someone just last week wrote the story of that cake as McShep fic. Not those words, but the same scenario.

I thought Uggs were water resistant. The Ugg site says that sheepskin is naturally so. Am I naive to think they would be?
